Good Looking!!




Don't we have good looking kids and grandkids??!!

Easter Weekend


Well, Brittany, Steve, Ian and Brinley got here Thursday night and the fun began. We got to visit with them on Friday and then Saturday Ali and a friend took the little ones to an Easter egg hunt and then came home to decorate eggs. The big guys (Jeff, Kevin and Steve) all went shooting and then had to clean all the guns when they got back (not a true Easter tradition but they had fun).

That afternoon we all drove down to Orem to hook up with Brandon, Andrea and Jocelyn and we all went to dinner at PF Changs. There were 14 of us total and it was fun to watch everyone trade around all the babies. Ian just wandered all around the table visiting everyone. After dinner most of us went bowling where Jeff beat everyone the first game and then Andrea beat everyone the second! Mady and Jocelyn hung out till they got bored then Joc fell asleep (I can't believe the noise she can sleep through!) and Mady took grandma over to the video games. It sure is a lot cheaper to keep them entertained at that age - they don't even need quarters.

Sunday morning we all joined together again to go to Brinley's baby blessing. It was so nice having the whole family in church together!! Including Jeff's parents! It was fun trying to get all four grandkids together for pictures so here are a few of my efforts.

In the afternoon we all went back to Jeff's parents for a little while just to hang out a bit longer before everyone headed to their other Easter activities. We had a really good time. I can't believe how fast our family is changing and growing!!!

Senior Tribute


Well, now I know graduation is getting near! Our ward had their senior tribute night on April 8th and six of the ten graduates were there. They put together a nice slide show of each of the kids and then their parents read a short tribute to each one. It was pretty fun but it is the first graduation activity so it makes it seem even more real.

April Fool's!


So it has been a little while since I blogged but I had to share these pictures. This is what we woke up to on April 1st!!! I guess they were just fooling about it being Spring. I thought it was pretty cool all of the deer right in our back yard. They come right up to the fence and are down in our front and side yard all the time.
